@ViciDraco Guess the hippo doesn't believe in that whole eat what you hunt ethic?

People just dont GET the concept of a WILD animal with survival instincts.

A hippo's got to do what a hippo's got to do, right?

@ChipmunkErnie thats why it says mammals... otherwise snake bites or diseases transmitted by insects would be number one
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@MoonMoon Ooops, missed the "mammals". People tend to think of crocs as the big killers in African waters, but it's hippos. BUT, just to be picky, I'll say the biggest mammalian killer of human beings is human beings. ;)

To be honest that hippo doesn't look to happy with him riding on his back he should have seen the warning signs.

Unlikely, seeing as hippos are herbivores, still...

the world is full of idiots that think any wild animal can be domesticated, many of which get gored/mauled by thinking they can walk up to a bear, lion, etc. and pet it... 🤔

That's the most adorable story I've ever read.

Seriously, don't fuck with hippos. Yes, they're cute, but so are grizzly bears.
